Self-contained

STERILtest GST E6/E5 self-contained contains, inside a thermoplastic tube, a paper disc impregnated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus (ATCC 7953) spores in predefined concentrations (E6= 1-5 x 106 UFC/disc; E5 = 1-5 x 105 UFC/disc). The tube contains also a small glass ampoule with nutrient broth with a pH indicator. Spores are completely killed off after 15 minutes of sterilization at 121 °C and therefore during the following incubation in the culture medium contained inside the ampoule, they are not able to grow and to modify the medium’s colour. At a lower temperature or at a shorter sterilization time, spores partially survive and therefore during the incubation are able to grow and to modify the medium’s colour.
